Low Water Pressure Pipe Replacement in Philadelphia, PA

Low water pressure has a few causes, and only some of them are the pipes. A plumber starts with a pressure gauge on a hose bib. Most homes run between 40 and 80 psi at the street. If the number at the hose bib is fine but the shower upstairs is weak, the problem is inside the house.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Philadelphia, PA homeowners with plumbers who trace and fix that pressure loss. The usual cause in older houses is galvanized pipe choked with rust scale, often worst at elbows and the short nipples near the water heater. A failing pressure reducing valve or a half closed main valve can look the same, so those get checked first.

If pressure is low at the hose bib too, the service line from the meter is the suspect: undersized pipe, a crushed section, or a lead or steel line full of deposits.

The fix may be one valve or a full water line replacement. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Low Water Pressure Pipe Replacement in Philadelphia, PA.

Talk to a person
How do I check for a lead service line?
Find the pipe where it enters the house near the meter or main valve. Lead is dull gray, soft, scratches to shiny silver with a key, and a magnet will not stick. Your water utility may also have a record of your line material.
Who owns the water line between the street and my house?
In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.
Do I need a permit for water line replacement?
Most cities require a plumbing permit for service line replacement and whole house repiping, plus an inspection before the trench is backfilled or walls are closed.
What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipe?
Pinholes usually come from pitting corrosion caused by water chemistry, such as low pH or high chlorine or chloramine, or by high flow speed in small pipe. Repeat pinholes mean the whole run is thinning.
How do I get a water line replacement quote in Philadelphia, PA?
Call (866) 335-0301 and describe the pipe material, the length of the run and what you are seeing. A plumber can then look at the site and price the work.
